Default Graphing a line, using coordinates points

In a two-dimensional graph, how do create a line, using x
and y coordinates?

Thank you!

[This followup was posted to microsoft.public.excel.charting and a copy
was sent to the cited author.]

Put the x values in one column. Put the corresponding y values in an
adjacent column. Select any cell in that range of values in 2 columns,
click the Chart wizard and select a XY Scatter chart type.

Just remember that to plot a straight line, one needs only 2 data
points.

The simple answer is "Use an XY scatter chart." If you're looking for
something more specific, post back with a few more details.

Hi Henry,
Put (x,y) pairs in a rows
Select all the data
Click on Chart Wizard
Select XY chart as type
Go from there.You may need to read a book for details on formatting.
